Answer 1

Hi, I'm an ED nurse so maybe I can help you out.  A few questions . . . . . .

How long has this been happening?

Has your child been having diarrhea?  Constipation?  When was the last time he passed stool?  

Is your child acting normally?  Eating, drinking OK?  

Is your child complaining of abdominal pain?

Running a fever?

Anyone else in the house ill, or has he been exposed to someone who is ill?

Does your child have any chronic medical conditions?  

Is he on any medications?

If the white foam is the ONLY symptom, it may just be some mucus.  If your child feels well, looks well, and is eating and drinking, it may be nothing serious.

A child who is lethargic, who won't eat or take liquids, who is vomiting or running a high fever, complains of abdominal pain,or who is passing bloody stool needs to be evaluated.
